Feeding on the embryonic, enigmatic emotions of childhood and adolescence, my creative practice seeks to mimic, dissect, and encapsulate rituals surrounding vital human behaviors like eating, grooming, nesting, and worship. In this study, I continuously search for echoes of childhood fears, fascinations, and desires in the ways we meet our daily needs and responsibilities. I primarily work in sculpture and digital media, with a focus on mixed media installation.
